Topic: Newsmax
Newsmax covered the third indictment of Donald Trump with its usual barrage of defending Trump and attacking prosecutors. In the third day of coverage on Aug. 3, the pattern continued:
- Huckabee to Newsmax: SCOTUS Will Decide Trump's D.C. Case
- Trump Calls for 'Federal Takeover' of D.C., Change of Venue
- David Schoen to Newsmax: DOJ Case 'Outrageous Stuff,' Lacks 'Integrity'
- Lara Trump to Newsmax: Indictments 'Ensure' Trump's Nomination
- Trump Lawyer: 'One of Biggest Cases' Ever, May Take a Year
- After Not-Guilty Plea in US Court, Trump Calls It a 'Very Sad Day for America'
- Rep. Boebert to Newsmax: DOJ Is New Biden Campaign HQ
- Rev. Franklin Graham to Newsmax: Left 'Scared to Death' of Trump
- Del Beccaro, Nunes to Newsmax: Challenging Elections is the Norm
- Collins, diGenova to Newsmax: Trump Indictments 'Timed to Cover Up'
- Sarah Palin to Newsmax: Indictment 'Huge Distraction' From Biden Probe
- Kimberly Guilfoyle to Newsmax: Real Jury Is Election Day
There was also the usual smattering of articles that offered a veneer of telling the other side of the story:
- Pence Quotes Trump in New Campaign Merch
- In DC Court, Trump Pleads Not Guilty to Charges He Tried to Subvert 2020 Election (wire article)
- Trump Warned Against Trying to Influence Witnesses
On Aug. 4, it was more or the same:
- Trump: Supreme Court 'Must Intercede' in Legal Fights
- Reuters/Ipsos Poll: Trump Lead Up Despite Legal Woes
- Trump Campaigns in Friendly Territory After Court Appearance (wire article)
- Alina Habba to Newsmax: Trump Has Right to Question 2020 Results
- Trump's Legal Team to Put 2020 Election on Trial
- Trump in Ala.: If I Win in '24, Will Name Special Counsel to Probe Biden
- Trump: Latest Indictment Case of Election Interference
- After D.C. Indictment, Trump Returns to Friendly Alabama
Again, these defend-and-attack articles far outnumber the articles that tell the other side:
- Judge in Trump Documents Case Erred Twice in June Trial (wire article)
- Asa Hutchinson to Newsmax: Talk of Pardoning Trump 'Inappropriate'
With these 20 additional defend-and-attack articles, that makes at least 52 articles in the four days after the third indictment was announced.
